Give Them a CHANGE.

That is TO say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very won
derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air passages, but the thousands OF
little tubes and cavities leading from them.
When these are clogged and choked with
matter which ought not to be there, your
lungs cannot half do their work. And
what theydo, they cannot do well
Call it cold, cough, Group pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption or any of the family
of throat and nose and head and lung OBJ
structions, all are bad. All ought to be
got rid Of. There is just one sure way
to get rid of them That is TO take Boshee'
German Syrup, which any druggist will
sell you at rs cents bottle. Even il
everything else has failed you, you may
depend upon this for certain.

The Military Encampment.

The encampment of the Maryland Ma
tional Guard, August 2d TO Sth, at Hagers-
town, promises TO be an event in the local
history of the Guard, and elaborate prepa-
rations are being made TO render the first
encampment great success. Fully l,2OO
men are expected to be in camp from all
portions of the State. Regimental and
brigade drills and inspection, guard mount
dress parade and other beautiful and i'm
pressive military ceremonies and scenes
of camp life will be portrayed each day,
and during the evening a grand outdoor
concert will be given by the military band.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in pur
suance of its usual liberal custom, will

The Politician.

Nowadays the man who goes regularly
into politics is forced to adopt ii as pro-
fession to the exclusion OF everything
else. His mind Is not only taken up with
schemes Of state, but the moments he can
we'll spare from these are demanded by
his constituents TO talk over claims for
Office and petty quarrels in his district.
Little Of the professional politicians life
is at his own disposal; many things occur
TO try his nerve and rasp his temper the
worry is almost incessant, and the de.
mands on his salary for party necessities
as well as the personal wants of friends
are heavy and constant. But, after all,
, this business Of politics is one most fasci.
mating IN modern life. In the first place
ones self love is enormously flattered by
being so Sought arter," as Sam Weller
puts 1t. In the second place there Is a
glow of enthusiasm about the conflict, ar
exultation over repeated victory, and
even charm in the plotting and scheming
TO retri We disaster, which fairly enchair
the mind of him who once embarks in pc
litical pursuits.

dent to epidemics. The yellow fever has
broken out in some portions of the south,
and is increasing. Annapolis has hitherto
in her history been favorably exempted
from such maladies. There Is no telling,
however, what might be in the future.
The wisest policy is to adopt the safest
means of guarding against such calami-
ties. Our health authorities and citizens
generally will do well TO use every pre-
caution not only of individual cleanliness
but in keeping the streets, lanes, alleys,
ETC., thoroughly cleaned of all deeaying
matter. The grass and weeds that have
grown so rank upon some of our streets
during the recent rains, will soon begin
to decay in the hot suns of August, and
unless attended TO will sure to breed sick
ness and death.

The First TOrpedO Signal.

The first railroad torpedo signal was
put into effectual use on the Bay Ridge
Railroad last night. Two trains were pro-
ceeding from Bay Ridge-one Washing
ton and the other Baltimore train. When
at the switch of the Annapolis road, the
front train haulted for water, and in order
to prevent collision with the approach
ing trains signal torpedo was placed on
the track some distance back, the explo-
sion of which was to be the signal to
stop. As the rear train came laundering
over the track and struck the torpedo, a
loud report was heard as that of cannon
which somewhat startled the passengers.
An explanation by the conductor soon
quieted the nervous

Narrow Escape.

Two colored women, blackberry pickers,
were caught in dangerous predicament
this morning while crossing on the Short
Line Railroad bridge. When near the
draw the handcar with the workmen
came bouncing along, and in order to es-
cape its crushing effects they were com
PEELED to get down under the bridge un-
til it passed over and in doing so bad to
make a sacrifice of their berries in the
water below. 1t was fortunate for them
they made such a narrow escape. We
have repeatedly warned persons of the
danger in crossing the railroad bridge, and
notices are also posted at each end of the
bridge cautiOning persons not to walk on
the bridge.
